T0 at whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, OTIS H. OLOUGH, of Redkey, in the county of Jay and State of Indiana, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Devices for Packing Jars, Bottles, &c., which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows in horizontalsection a box containing a packing device constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 isa perspective View showing the packing device. Fig. 3 shows the sheet from which the plates and pieces are out.

My improved packing device comprises plates or pieces 2 2, of cardboard or like material, which are preferably free at their ends and formed with longitudinal slots 3 3, and cross-pieces 4 4 are placed in these slots, extending at right angles to the pieces 2. The

pieces 4 4, of the same width as the slots 3, may be constituted by the strips which are out out from the pieces 2 in forming the said slots When the parts are assembled, as shown in Fig. 2, they are placed in the box 5, which they divide into compartments suitable for receiving the bottles or jars 6 6.

The device as a Whole is cheap, and it affords a strong and satisfactory means for packing bottles, ice.

I claim 1. A packing device comprising parallel plates 2, 2, free at their ends and having longitudinal slots, and cross-pieces fitting in the slots, and of the same width as the slots; substantially as described.

2. A packing device comprising plates 2,- 2, having longitudinal slots with cross-pieces fitting in said slots and constituted by strips removed from the plates 2 in forming the slots; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my-hand.

OTIS H. OLOUGH.
